Hull KR will begin pre-season training tomorrow with the majority of the first team squad put through their paces as the hard grind of preparing for the 2019 season begins.

Rovers’ squad have all been called in for the opening day, with only England Knights duo Chris Atkin and Robbie Mulhern given time off following their trip to Papua New Guinea.

Captain Shaun Lunt, who is recovering from a hospital admission after an abscess on his spine, is also a doubt as to whether he will be well enough to report for training as head coach Tim Sheens explains.

“Chris (Atkin) and Robbie (Mulhern) obviously won’t be with us at the start and we’ll have to see about Will Oakes too as he picked up a knock. The majority of the boys will be in, though.

“I’m not sure if Lunty will be well enough to put in an appearance, but I expect him to turn up at least and say hello to everyone even if he does no training, so we’ll have to see.”
